Challenge—Community Center Design A town named Willingdon has just decided to create a community center dedicated to helping people in the town. The mayor of the community is searching for young, creative, and brilliant architects who can build a community center in Willingdon. Your challenge is to design an original model of a community center that can serve the needs of citizens using three-dimensional shapes. The mayor will need to see your plans, measurements, and a model to consider using your design. The community center must stand up on its own and should include the use of at least 3 different three-dimensional shapes. The mayor of Willingdon has added some requirements for the model community center building that you’re creating. Not only must the structure stand up on its own and use at least 3 three-dimensional figures, the mayor has requested that the building must also have a volume between 300 cm³ and 500 cm³ and that the surface area of your model structure be between 340 cm² and 700 cm². In addition, you may use glue sticks and tape to assemble your model community center building using cardstock provided by the teacher. State the Challenge in your own words—what do you have to do? What are the specifications for the challenge (what the design must do or possess)?
What are the constraints for the challenge (the limitations, typically time and materials)?
